Watched him walk away (watched him walk away)
Climb the endless shadow side
Watched him holding on (watched him holding on) (watched him walk away)

It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes
With no goodbye
Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes)
Hold on!
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain

Let the mountain sleep
In the past with all our bad dreams

Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart?
Was it mortality?

Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life!
Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart
With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave 'Goodbye'!

Say a prayer for me (Hold on!)
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain
Let the mountain fall
Struck me down until I can't go on

Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground

Don't leave
Go on alone

It felt like a thousand years
It was a thousand miles away
It was a thousand miles away
